Historically conceived and developed in the heart of Kalamunda, at Kalamunda Primary School, this act has now toured around the country and featured at the Big Umbrella Festival in New York and The Artground  in Singapore.

Performing this week at the Kalamunda Performance Arts Centre, in collaboration with the Kalamunda Primary School, Whoosh asks children to ‘Hop on board their spaceship and get ready for blast off!’

The brain-child of Sensorium Theatre and produced by Performing Lines WA this child-friendly, small audience theatre was specifically designed to cater for children with multiple and complex needs and those on the autism spectrum.  Participants are invited to touch, taste, smell, hear and feel as they are included in the interactive storytelling experience. 

Mayor Margaret Thomas said, “We are proud to have been the birth-place of this wonderful theatre initiative that celebrates inclusivity and provides opportunities for children with disability to access performance and the arts.”

“The City of Kalamunda is renowned for its high calibre artistic community and Sensorium Theatre is just another inspirational example of the innovation and creativity with its foundations here. We are excited to have them return.”
